Description
Correct the Names
Book Summary
In "Correct the Names," Fruela Fernández offers us a poetic work that investigates memory, territory, and affections as ideological constructs. Through a lucid gaze and precise language, the author explores the passage of time, the fragility of existence, and the need to position oneself in the world. The reader will find a collection of poems that does not merely observe the landscape but seeks to become a part of it, offering the pleasure of a language that twists and reinvents itself to name the essential.
What is it about?
The poetry collection is structured around several intersecting trajectories. On one hand, it addresses the consciousness of time in its various forms: time that moves relentlessly, time that stops in memory, and time that looks back, bringing with it death, fragility, and aging. It also explores the circular time of the seasons and their misalignment with human sensations, as well as the uncertainties and conflicts of the present.
On the other hand, "Correct the Names" is situated in a specific territory, forged by physical and vital details that build memory: people, plants, trees, animals, and structures. The author does not seek to oppose his landscape, but to integrate himself into it, offering poetry that is, at once, an exercise in rooting and in questioning the affections and the ideologies that sustain them.
